What it is that we do.
I don't much care for online abbreviations a whole lot. Although I have heard that one mentioned too many times. I've asked.

'What It Is That We Do' -a bigger umbrella than BDSM and saves agueing about what we're going to call this stuff.
I tend to use 'this stuff' because when a neighbor or friend or seeker approches me, they inevitibly say something like ' You do, you know- that stuff, right?'.

I actually use Lawrence or Lawrenc most places online (Lawrence often being taken already), and actually, I came here with have a notion of spoofing the place, so I used 'Topcat'. My mentor/rabbi/native guide to the scene was the late Major Thom of SF, who affected a sort of hipster beat argot. One night, he said something like " oh don't worry about it- you're not just some regualur cat- you're a topcat-" Which we found verrrry funny, as we were verrrry drunk. His standard greeting became "ho! Topcat! what's swinging?"

Stay warm,
Lawrence

Hard to say - I didn't really expect to see much difference in the (lack of) volume of mail I receive (heck, I know I am no Tom Cruise in the looks department), and it hasn't really seem to have had much effect there

on the 'perception of others' side of things, again, that is hard to quantify as I am not contacted often, so have no way of knowing what is going through peoples minds as they read my nick/profile.

but I also, as has Estring, have observed that most of the 'dominants' with Master or Lord or Sir or some variation thereof in their nick are, more often than not, someone I would not trust around my sub with a rabbit fur flogger let alone something more 'serious'. Exceptions to this observation do occur ( and I like to think I was one myself when I had the MstrMrW nick) but they are few and far between.

My nick was originally pixie_sticks_addict. A name I earned from many late nights with friends playing Dungeons&Dragons. We had a rule when it was game night, our hosts provided the space to play, you were responsible for supplying your own snacks. I would always show up with a bag of pixy styx, dill pickle chips, and MtDew. By the end of the gaming session I was usually so hyped up I couldn't sit still if my life depended on it.

I misspelled pixy styx, and when I chat I am often called pixie. When I was collared to my Master Shadoww, we changed my nick to pixieonaleash. Now that we have left that part of our relationship behind us, I changed it to pixieunleashed.

I often go by pixie whenever I am involved with people from the "scene".

You mean Topcat has nothing to do with that cartoon?

Sinergy as chooch and Estring as Benny the Ball seemed to make sense.

Hi,
Thanks to all who posted. My curiousity itch has been scratched.

Esting, You couldn't be boring if You tried. And I was relieved to find out what sub4hire meant. And basiasubresa gave a good lesson on picking words apart to find their meanings. Etomology? I know quietpleasures45 meant to say married with children, but found marred with children to be a delightful typo. WIITSD...What It Is That Southerners Do could have been the title of this thread since Southerners always want to "pick" folks and find out about them. Thanks so much for cooperating. All postings were interesting to me.

kiki blue is my most recent "incarnation". I chose kiki because of the character by the same name in an online comic, which I indentified with for various reasons (which is another story). I just thought the blue sounded nice after it.

I chose this nick after my ex and I broke up, because I had used luminary{SSh} as my ID on various lists and what not, and didn't want to keep using it. I still use luminary on some things, coz I like it, even though he chose it for me (for online interactions - prior to him collaring me ("real time") my nick had been spankin`good`time

).

Though I don't use either scene wise, and usually use my real name on the lists I'm on, so I may as well start doing it here too.

You'll always be "red" to me!

OK, I thought that was funny in a charming sort of way. (I like red hair, kiki blue this was not an isult.) Time for bed.

It's not an isult. Or an insult

Just as long as you don't call me "Blue", which is what Australian's call redheads. Don't ask. LOL

Thats what I always assumed the blue part of your nick was in reference to - the Aussie habit of calling redheads Blue or Bluey

mis-assumption on my part

LOL you know, that honestly never occured to me, until you said that. I always hated being called Blue - it was usually done by men a lot older than me who were quite Ocker.

I just thought blue sounded nice (and since I'd split for good with my ex, was feeling a little blue, but I'm so much happier now)

Excuse me if this is just a typo for "older" or something, but "Ocker" maybe Aussie slang I don't know, bluey.

(OK, I had to call you "bluey" once, mate.

It won't happen again. I'll use the queen's English although she don't hardly ever use none of mine.)

I just wanted to be a bit different. And, this was the first thing that came to mind. My failed attempt to be humorous.

darchart= dark heart
years ago I felt that part of my heart was dark or maybe part of my soul. being told often enough that your desires are deviant or immoral or just plain evil tends to make one see ones self in a rather unhappy way.
I havent felt that way since my Master educated me.

I am used to typing the name though and i kept it

My name is the english translation of part of my given name.

It also suits me as I'm a total night owl (at least when allowed to be one).

The daughter part ... does not mean that i'm into age place, case that I am not into in any shape or form.

I would use the nick that Master's given me, but the handle kitten is over dun on most sites to one degree or another.
